How to Adjust the Diet of a 2-Year-Old with Weak Spleen and Stomach

Question

How should a 2-year-old with spleen deficiency be adjusted?

Answer

Lotus Seed and Yam Porridge is a method for adjusting weakness in the spleen and stomach, containing 30 grams of lotus seeds, 80 grams of yam, and 50 grams of glutinous rice. First, peel and remove the core from the lotus seeds, then add the yam, glutinous rice, and an appropriate amount of water to cook into porridge for consumption. This porridge is suitable for children with weak spleen and stomach who are thin and have poor appetite, helping in the digestion and absorption of food. It is also effective for symptoms such as indigestion, diarrhea, stomachache, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer. Moreover, the fat enzyme in papaya can break down fats into fatty acids, which is beneficial for digesting fats in food.
